This is the eighth and final appearance Grant Richards makes in the series. For most of his appearances, he takes on the persona of different characters. In three of his appearances, this not being one of them, he plays the hoodlum Frankie Resko.
This is the fourth and final appearance Edward Asner makes in the series, the third and final this season. He is perhaps best remembered for his role as Lou Grant in the 1970s TV sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970) and its spinoff, the newspaper drama Lou Grant (1977).
